It’s too bad that people of color didn’t have zealous advocates of their equal rights during this nation’s historic past like white folks do today with the likes of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty guarding their “liberties.”
Republican divisions between geographic areas, between Senate and Assembly on the bill.
Add in the same economic issue that has impacted businesses nationwide, a shortage of employees, and one can start to glimpse why more Amazon packages being delivered with one hand undercuts the prompt delivery of an electrical bill or letter from Uncle Glen on the other hand.
As we mark the third anniversary of the events that unfolded on Jan. 6, the political violence unleashed by the MAGA faction that day continues to reverberate in Wisconsin, and not just in election denial or efforts to derail holding insurrectionists accountable.
As 2023 came to a close, the legislature and University of Wisconsin System came to an agreement on a path forward that refocuses the UW’s priorities on our campuses to student success and achievement, ensures our best and brightest students remain in the state, and makes significant investments in building projects across Wisconsin’s universities.
AB 734 would not allow any person under 12 years old to play tackle football in any organized league. The reason: concessions. And before you ask, yes it’s a thing.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, talk about Wisconsin’s Republican false electors and how their acknowledgement that Biden won against Trump in 2020 differs from other states. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
When you combine the pressure on media to chase audience given the apparently fleeting attention span of many readers with its tendency to engage in false equivalencies like coverage of Clinton’s emails to demonstrate evenhandedness in the face of “liberal bias” accusations, you have a prescription for more of the same this year.
Former President Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. If President Biden is the nominee for the Democrats, the 45th president will become the 47th president of the United States.
Bills like the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, raise serious concerns that would make the internet far less safe for both kids and adults.
As Madison continues to grow, though, the pressure to fell trees for wider roads, new apartment complexes and dozens of businesses and housing developments will intensify.
The new hope offered by the Supreme Court’s ruling will hopefully result in maps giving every voter confidence their values will be reflected in election outcomes. We are finally on the right path to end gerrymandering and begin returning Wisconsin values to the Legislature.
There is little doubt new maps will still result in Republican control. Liberal former Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz conceded that it is very likely Republicans will retain legislative control in a recent Isthmus column, and other analysis tells a similar story.
Ranked choice voting is the living dead of bad policy: No matter how many times the hero shoots it in the head, it still staggers forward, lurching for another gullible brain to consume.
Proposed cottage food sales cap would be among lowest in the country.
Children’s and Ascension hospitals are the worst, report finds, which causes higher costs.
Watch for Dean Phillips in New Hampshire presidential primary.
Voters in Wisconsin have been denied their right to choose which party controls the state Legislature for the past 12 years because of the most gerrymandered maps in the nation.
As an investigation by Wisconsin Watch and Wisconsin Public Radio revealed as the pandemic was subsiding, thousands of workers still wind up in $7.25 jobs. And contrary to what many GOP legislators claim, they aren’t just teenagers in part-time first jobs.
